Description

The next generation of the Hooded Rain Jacket has been designed with a hard-wearing fabric and a raft of technical features to create a robust, protective jacket. The three-layer softshell fabric offers good mechanical stretch for a fit that is comfortable on and off the bike, and when worn on top of a couple of other layers. The high performance membrane and backing fabric are bolstered by fully sealed seams for complete protection in the rain. If you’re caught in an intense downpour, the elasticated hem and integrated drawcord hood can be adjusted to provide additional protection.

The hood is adjusted using a fully bonded, low profile Cohaesive cord lock and stows away neatly beneath the hi-vis hood retention strap. A full length, two-way zip allows the jacket to be opened from the waist and, combined with laser cut ventilation under the arms, prevents overheating. In a nod to the jacket’s predecessor, the zip is bordered on one side by a signature Pro Team placket and lower down by two sleek and secure zipped pockets. A new and improved hi-vis pink drop tail provides added protection against road spray but folds away neatly into the hem. In conjunction with the reflective and hi-vis detailing on the seamless signal cuffs, the drop tail also transforms the jacket into a highly reflective piece for riding in low light conditions.

“…what really stands out is the performance of this almost exclusively urban-orientated jacked. Rain beads off with ease, and after a good six weeks of changeable weather its performance hasn't diminished. The taped seams inside are high quality, while the fabric can shift excess body heat really well – better than a lot of technical hardshell-type jackets I've tried over the past few years.”

Stylish performance jacketExcellent jacket for city cycling and wearing on stylish and off the bike. Waterproof and breathable, nice reflective details (lots of pink though) and adjustable waist and hood.

Jacket ;)I ordered a medium but then had to get a small, It's a great fit and lovely quality as per normal.
I have been waiting for ages for Rapha to bring out such a jacket that I can wear everyday.

Great commuter jacket.Great jacket, waterproof and good with layers, hood feels small when used off the bike but fits great under a helmet for my buzz across London.
Not sure what you do with the hood and the pink tab, never looks quite right and the back pushes against the base of my helmet when rolled up.
Might suggest a future design to have a removable hood?

Almost greatGreat fit and water proof. I find the hood too big even with a helmet and it doesn't fold neatly and looks messy. Expensive at full price.

Classic OR Pro Team fit ????

Asked by: Toad

This is a City piece, so it will be a City casual style fit.

What is the real difference in terms of protection (cold and rain) and design between this jacket and the Hooded Wool Jacket? Both seem to have a 3-layer soft-shell fabric and they look rather similar in the photos.

Asked by: Txema

While fit and some construction features are very similar, the outer layer is the key differentiator between the two pieces. The Wool outer layer will provide a greater degree of warmth than the Hooded jacket as the outer membrane is a technical stretch fabric with a high degree of waterproofing. The Wool Jacket Hood is also detachable and forms a more tailored silhouette than the Hooded Jacket also
